Aragon 8008bb or Palladium


My listening area is 10ft 2in X 11ft. My amp is a Aragon 8008bb, preamp Aragon 28k and speakers NHT 2.9's.
I like what the 8008bb does for me.
I like the way it sounds and I wish I had more of it.
If I thought that the Palladiums would not be too much for my room or speakers and it would give me more of the Aragon "sound", I would possibly get them...
Any help?

Personally, I am not a big fan of the Aragon 8008bb sound. I am very familiar with this amp, and unless you need a lot of power at a low price (used) it is not a good deal (sonically).

The Palladiums are better. But better sound can be had.

If you do not need the extreme power, I would suggest trying the Monarchy SE100 deluxe amps. The Monarchy amps used are a great deal, and will sound a lot better than the 8008bb.

Anyway you like the Aragon 8008bb, so I would go with Palladiums. But if you ever want to get to a higher level soundwise, I would look at either Monarchy SE100 Delux monos or a Gamut D-200. Both of these used are steals.
